Dear Martin
It could have been a Bush Stone-Curlew - they are fairly common at Dryandra.
Having just had a great holiday in Australia I wa wondering if someone
could help with an ID question. While birding in Dryandra State Forest
(WA) I disturbed what appeared to be a Malleefowl. It took off and
flew from the path. I was happy with the ID although I only saw it for
a couple of seconds. It's alarm call was mid pitch and comprised of
two short notes. My field guide says that the alarm call should be a
low grunt. Does anyone know what the alarm call is?
Also of interest while in Margaret River I saw a Long-billed Black
Cockatoo carrying a dead Ringneck Parrot!! Has anyone seen anything
like this before
Cheers
